Subject: [PATCH] arc: Flush and invalidate caches on start
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 17:21:58 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170831142158.27245-1-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)

This is useful to make sure no stale data exists in caches after bootloaders.
The worst thing could be some lines of cache were locked in a bootloader
for example during DDR recalibration and never unlocked. This may lead
to really unpredictable issues later down the line.
